Do alarmists care if Al Gore's Climate 101 experiment was a complete fabrication?

The warmer side got pretty apoplectic about Anthony Watts little analysis. For example: http://mediamatters.org/blog/201109300006 (Comments are hilarious) In the end, as is usual like with Climategate of Himalayagate or now Al Gore Videogate, the conclusion is invariably the same: It doesn't matter, the science is still solid.

Well, here's more for the warmer crowd to shoot down. Anthony Watts took the challenge of replicating the Gore experiment here: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2011/10/18/replicating-...

And you can expect the same warmer response: It doesn't matter, the science is still solid. With some people, "it doesn't matter" is pretty much universal. For example, "We may be entering a century long cooling trend even with increasing CO2 levels which have been conclusively shown don't affect temperatures significantly due to low climate sensitivity. However, it doesn't matter, the science is still solid."

As I have often said, global warming is not the Church of Al Gore. He's not even a climate scientist.

I don't have 50 minutes to watch the video. But I assume the video is showing an experiment related to CO2 being a greenhouse gas. Something that virtually no scientist doubts at this point. There is some debate about how strong of an effect CO2 will have in real-world conditions--there are a number of positive and negative feedbacks that can affect warming from CO2, or any other forcing. But no climate scientist that I am aware of disputes the fact that increased atmospheric CO2 will result in higher average global temperatures.

Try looking here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0kIaCKPlH4 for an experiment you can do at home.

Unfortunately a 50 minute video is an ask.

Gore's 101 experiment is simple and illustrative, it certainly does not represent the science of greenhouse gases.

Greenhouse gas effect is in operation on Venus and the Earth, [whether you believe co2 based climate change is happening]. Not to believe in this basic is like believing in creationism.

I should image the guy in the lab coat is not a scientist either!

You denialists love Al Gore. Try opposing real science some time

Frankly, I don't care a whole lot about Al Gore's stuff--AGW is based on real science, and what Al Gore or Anthony Watts have to say about is irrelevant to the physical truth.

However, as I understand it, Gore's video sketched out how to do such an experiment, and Watts did not understand that it was a sketch of how to do the experiment, and not the actual experiment itself. That Watts couldn't do it correctly does not surprise me, since his scientific knowledge and conclusions are frequently in error.

By the way, in another of your questions you defended your incorrect knowledge of radiative transfer physics by implying that you were intentionally lying about it ( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Auybw... ) , so it seems incredibly hypocritical for you to criticize Gore, since we have the choice of believing that either (1) you don't understand the science, or (2) you lie about it.

wasn't that the video that algore and nye-noscienceguy showed to the millions and millions and millions or maybe 2 viewers that said AGW is true because of this great experiment, how many more gullible people bought into this nonsense because of these 2 morons. warmunists never cease to amaze me

Warmist are almost invariably Leftist that have absolute disdain for the truth, they love the lie and they sure don't care that Gore faked it.

There is really no hope of ever changing their minds --- they are very pleased in their blindness and they refuse to see.

jules b - Yeah sure, how the experiment goes is totally dependent on whether you have a climate science degree or not. That's the way the laws of physics work, one way with a degree and a totally different way without a degree.

Copy-cat lies about one politician, such as this question, have nothing to do with science.

They don't care how inaccurate the science is they just to redistribute the wealth with

carbon credits .

Youtube for a source? you deniers are really getting desperate.
